Great value for money 5 days budget safari
5/5

We went for the 5 days budget safari camping in a shared tour.

I contacted Surricata Safari as they were ranked number one on the platforms. The well detailed itinerary plan and reactivity of Hilary the owner convinced me to book as it looks clear and all inclusive (night before/ after safari in hotel (except dinner), airport transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport).

Serengiti and Tarangire national park were definitely the highlights of the trip as well as the quality of the meals prepared by chef Ben which was outstanding. He really exerts exceptional efforts to cook and is no comparison to industrial pack lunched from some safari companies.

Don't forget to bring:
- warm jackets / outfit as it was chilly specially in Ngorongoro when we visited end of June.
- a swim suit to enjoy the pool at Twiga campsite after a day of safari

Regarding 4 or 5 days duration safari, I would go back for 4 days as animals were a bit difficult to spot in the bush of Lake Maneyra on our last day.

Unforgettable !
5/5

My girlfriend and I wanted to do a 5 day camping Safari and struggled to find a provider among the >1000 that exist in Tanzania.

We discussed with 6-7 of them and Suricata appeared to us as the most reactive, with a very fair price (so many companies are robbing you there …) and mostly … customer service oriented ! I cannot emphasise enough on this last point as they really put an effort in here (face to face feedback before and after the safari, birthday of my girlfriend perfectly organized on the spot during the safari, many positive surprises offered that were not part of our package but were ultimately offered….).

Great job of the whole team there: Selim (the chef - amazing food along the way); Ally (organizer from Arusha) and Hilary (owner). Rocky, our guide was the best of the best, we had countless unique moments thanks to him including seeing the big 5, a fight between a leopard and two hyenas for a freshly hunted baby zebra, a private moment with two lion brothers from very very close ….

As in everything, a tour of 5 days camping in the wild cannot be perfect. But the minor car problems were dealt fast and on the spot. Also both Rocky and Ally made sure to listen and take the time to hear our feedback to improve / and tailor the trip to our wishes during the trip.

I can only highly recommend Suricata !

Super Safari through the Tanzanian parks
5/5

We spent 5 days on Safari with Suricata and it was a magnificent experience!

We saw the "Big Five", you need a lot of luck but it's mainly thanks to our great guide Rocky!!!

Through the different parks, we saw a lot of animals, such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, antelopes, warthogs, hyenas, lions, leopards, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, but also lots of monkeys and birds...

Selim, our chef, cooked great meals for us throughout the safari.
The meals were varied, balanced and above all rich in quantity. It was really delicious!!
We even had the chance to have hot meals for picnics... It makes a difference when it's not very hot!!!

The attention that changes a lot of things, I celebrated my birthday during the safari, Rocky and Selim had prepared a surprise cake for me.

I highly recommend Suricata Safari, it is an honest agency with a very good quality/price ratio!!

Excellent experience
5/5

We had 5 days group safary with airport pick-up and drop-off. Everything went smoothly and according to plan. Our tour guide Mandela was excelent - great English, drove safe, made introduction to every park and said interesting things about animals we saw. He was really nice and asked frequently if we have any inquiries. Our cook Tito was just amazing - honestly we had not expected such a great cooking servis. We everytime got many courses of african style meals and salads/veggies/fruits and local wine/drink. He baked his own fresh bread, cakes and even a pizza.

It was averall amazing experience with Suricata Safaris led by Mandela and Tito - thank you guys very much!

We slept in a tent camps and I definetly recommend to bring some warm clothes - in Ngorong Ngorong real feel was bellow 10 C and it was really chilly. On the other hand meeting pack of zebras while going to the bathroom during night was a real heartwarming experience :)

Regarding optional Masai village trip - I just want to say, dont be affraid to haggle for the price of souveniers - they simply overcharge a lot.

Was the best trip ever!
5/5

Our driver was Vincent, he was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the animals as well as the parks & conservation area we visited.

Musa was an amazing chef! I don’t know how he did it but we had homemade pizza in the middle of the Serengeti for lunch! No box lunches with Suricata Safaris!
